Does Death Scare You?

you shall have a very boring life then. your life has been in danger since the moment you were born. if we try to fool ourself into thinking our life is something precious and lasting, and cling onto it, it will lose a lot of its value and appeal.

 

Fear of death isn't innate, fear of pain is. People have to learn what death is, and then in turn learn what life/body is.

Me personally, I don't fear death. It's simply the next phase ahead of me, to new experience and understanding.

 

Umm... no, I am very happy, thank you! Life is a constant thrill when you realise it's precious.

 

I think you failed to understand my message.
Yes, it is precious. But it is fleeting. It will end. Clinging to it will make it bland and boring. It is important to take risks in order to live to the fullest.

Of course, you can only lead a horse to water.

 

if you dont mind me asking, what do you mean when you say that?

 

I knida agree.

Sometimes when my life seems to be going kinda slow and uneventful, i start to think well whats the point to this life? i can do everything and still gonna die in the end right, and i could probably do it all, if i had the time/ money.

but at other times i think if i just opened my mind to the possiblities of so many things i could do in my life, its like its limitless. i could maybe go forever in this universe doing new things, and studying and learning about life and all of its mysteries and shit.

it goes both way i guess. i gues you gotta look past all the human pleasure that first come to mind like sex, drugs, traveling riches and stuff. there is more to life than that.

 

Death itself has no feeling associated with it.

Its the dying process that makes one suffer both physical and mental pain as they're the ones coming to an end.

The spirit cannot feel pain. It's only the observer. It has no remorse in giving up the body because it will continue as spirit.

I have come to terms a while ago that death would not be all that bad. Life and death are one in the same. You can not have one without the other.

I enjoy my life, what's to say I shouldn't enjoy not-life? Absolute non-existence seems very relaxing.

 

I'm not afraid of death, but I am afraid of illness and of pain.
I believe in reincarnation so death itself isn't too much of a worry for me.
I do worry about losing the people I love though, and I worry about how I will cope with the loss.

 

I used to be extremely afraid of dying.
I remember when I was about 6, and was talking with my mom and somehow it came up that people eventually died. I ended up crying for almost two hours telling her how much I didn't want to die. I used to get panic attacks thinking about it, because I always realized that whatever you do in life, you can never escape it.
Then I had an experience where it was revealed to me that dying and birth are the same exact thing. The feeling is the completely the same. I can't distinguish between the two.
I'm still not totally comfortable with it, but much more so than I used to be. Knowing the feeling, I sincerely doubt the honesty or understanding of anyone who says they are completely not afraid of death...

 

I'm not even this . much afraid of death.
